| Star act: Shakira will perform her song "La La La (Brazil 2014)" at the World Cup final at the Maracana on July 13 |
Colombian pop singer Shakira will make her third consecutive World Cup appearance at the closing ceremony in Rio de Janeiro's Maracana stadium before the final match on July 13.
Shakira will perform her song "La La La (Brazil 2014)" alongside Brazilian percussionist and singer Carlinhos Brown.
'I have an intricate relationship with football for obvious reasons, and I truly understand what the World Cup means to so many people, myself included,' said Shakira, who is the partner of Barcelona and Spain star Gerard Pique.
It's a hat-trick! It will be the third time Shakira has performed at a World Cup tournament
Last time: The colourful Colombian performs her song "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" at the 2010 World Cup final in Johannesburg
Revelation: Shakira's native Colombia - and especially James Rodriguez - have stolen the show at this World Cup
Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana, Haitian-American hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean and Brazilian singer Alexandre Pires will perform the official anthem of the 2014 World Cup "Dar Um Jeito," Portuguese for "We Will Find a Way."
The closing ceremony will also feature a samba performance from one of the Rio de Janeiro schools that participate in the city's famous Carnival celebrations.
It remains to be seen whether Shakira's native Colombia can reach their first final.
